National Exams — May 2017 · 16-Civ-A5 Hydraulic Engineering.
Three hours; closed book (one aid sheet). Six questions of equal value; candidates answer any five.
All six are solved here as a study resource. Take water ρ = 1000 kg/m³,
ν = 1.31×10−6 m²/s, g = 9.81 m/s²; local losses and velocity head are neglected (Note 6).
